Rebuild Day- Demo Day

Event overview

Rebuilding Together has declared the last Saturday in April as National Rebuilding Day. On this day and over the weekend, thousands of volunteers throughout the country join together to provide critical and life-saving repairs for vulnerable families in our communities. Rebuilding Together Austin has been working with Ms. Ockletree and her home will be the featured project for National Rebuilding Day. April 28th is also Ms. Ockletree’s birthday! Austin 1st Platoon and Rebuilding Together Austin will join forces to make her birthday one to be remembered. Ms. Ockletree is 83, taking care of three young teens, and her spirit is contagious. Her home is in need of the repairs that RTA specializes in. Already, contractors have been completing additional projects in her home including: a new roof, installing an HVAC system and making her bathroom more safe and easily accessible. Our primary mission is to rebuild her fence. I believe this is a great opportunity for us. We will accomplish our mission with at least two separate events, Prep day on March 31st and National Rebuild Day on April 28th. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To prepare on March 31, we will begin demolition at the Ockletree home. The following tasks will be completed: - Removing current fencing. - Demolition of two small sheds. - Discarding fence material, possible sorting for reclamation. - Debris removal. - Prep for installation of new fencing. Y'all, we'll be breaking stuff and cleaning up the mess. Two of a veteran's favorite things! This is going to be the therapy run before the main event on April 28th. Come on out and join us in service to Ms. Ockletree!

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
